Ingredients
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1 Tbsp butter or margarine, cut in small chunks
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 1/4 cups flour or bread flour
- 1 1/8 tsp yeast
Directions
-
Add ingredients to your bread machine in the order listed above. Set machine to the DOUGH setting and run.
-
After dough cycle is complete, place dough on a floured work surface and shape into a long rectangle. (Don’t press it too thin – about 3/4″ thick).
-
Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 10-14 short vertical strips. Resting each strip on its a cut side, flatten it gently into the flour.
-
Place dough sticks onto a cookie sheet and cover with a towel. I like to let them rise covered in a 175 degree oven for 10-15 minutes.
-
Remove the towel, turn the oven to 400 degrees and bake for 8-10 minutes until breadsticks are lightly golden.
-
Melt 1 Tbsp butter with 1/2 tsp garlic powder (skip this to make it FMA-friendly) and 1/2 tsp salt and brush over hot breadsticks. (Sprinkle with grated Parmesan if you like). Serve while warm!
